REVEALED: What you will see and what you won’t in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Indu Sarkar : Bollywood News

A lot of misinformation- deliberate or otherwise-is being spread about Madhur Bhandarkar's Indu Sarkar. However a lot of what you are reading about the film is hearsay or mere conjecture based on what is seen in the trailer. But here's a list of what you will and won't see in the film.

REVEALED: What you will see and what you won’t in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Indu Sarkar

1. The film is most certainly about the Emergency. In fact Madhur Bhandarkar has a mischievous pun in the title. While Indu Sarkar is the protagonist Kirti Kulhari's name, Indu was also Mrs Indira Gandhi's nickname. So the title also refers to Mrs Gandhi's regime.

2. Not once in the film does Madhur Bhandarkar make any reference Mrs Gandhi. The actress Supriya Vinod who plays the charismatic prime minister is referred to as 'Madame'. And Neil Nitin Mukesh who strongly resembles Sanjay Gandhi is not once referred to by that name. However what you will see are clearly specified references to the Emergency that was declared in 1977 by the Congress, leaving no doubt about the film's intentions.

3. Kriti Kulhari plays a stammering protagonist. This is the second stammering hero in July after Ranbir Kapoor in Jagga Jasoos. What we won't see is Kriti Kulhari bursting repeatedly into songs to put her point across. Pritam Chakraborty, gone.

4. Contrary to reports in a section of the media, Indu Sarkar has not been cleared by the Film Certificate Appellate Tribunal, also known as the Tribunal. It has been cleared by the Revising Committee of the Censor Board Of Film Certification after several cuts were implemented. So you won't see the uncut version. In all 4 minutes and 22 seconds have been cut. And to make sure that the version shown in theatres is the censored version, the CBFC has asked for a written undertaking from Madhur Bhandarkar that no changes would be made.
